Agreed! I went through all of my apps after the update and I only had to login to the Amazon apps (Kindle, Appstore, Cloud Player) though everything seemed fine. At first after it started, it seemed like it was still updating something so it seems slightly sluggish but after that was done it is nice and crisp response once again. Pretty happy it went so smoothly!

Oh yeah, forgot to add that the Unknown Sources in Setting->Applications was not checked (it had been before the update) so all I had to do was check it.

Re: Just got the update.

Hmm....unfortunately my Swype doesn't seem to be working. I think I saw a pop-up message re Swype when I started to type my earlier post...but I accidentally clicked it off without reading it.

And, like INX38, I also had to re-check Unknown Sources.

I replaced my Inspire 4G last week (insurance replace) and the new phone didn't have the "Install from unknown sources" option, which I expected. Does the update restore that capability, or do I need to sit on hold endlessly call AT&T support and have it pushed again?

Re: Just got the update.

Does anyone know any other tricks to get this to push down to the device. I have clicked "HTC Wifi Software Update" a dozen time and rebooted... Still no update. I'm in Dallas, TX if that matters. Thanks.

The update includes the unknown sources option.

The update supposedly is released batches, so not everyone can get access at once. You can download the update from HTC's page if you want it now (it will delete your data during the update).

The manual method (download from HTC) uses the recovery procedure from HTC Sync so it wipes all your data. You can backup some of your files using MyBackup and Google backs up some data if you have Backup Settings enabled in Privacy settings.

The OTA method just updates the system files and doesn't mess with the rest.
